de ahora/de aquí

Question

I read in another thread that the phrase "from now on" can be said a partir de ahora. Is there much difference between saying this and saying a partir de aquí?

A partir de aquí voy a estudiar todos los días - From here on out, I am going to study every day.

A partir de ahora voy a estudiar todos los días - From now on, I am going to study every day.

What do you think. Are these phrases interchangeable in a context such as this or not?

Answer 1

For me, they are interchangeable in that context. "Ahora" is more usual, but the other is also quite common.

Answer 2

Hmmm, If Guille says it is common....certainly not in Spain, look at Nila, she is from Spain too.

A partir de aquí.not used in Spain, Izan.

Answer 3

From now on = a partir de ahora

From here on out = de aquí en adelante.

In your sentence, "de aquí en adelante voy a estudiar todos los días" sounds much better than "a partir de aquí voy a estudiar todos los días". If I were you, I would always use: de aquí en adelante. It is the best way to not make mistakes.

Thank you Nila...that was helpful like always - Izanoni1, Oct 14, 2009
